The dog is hooked with a pitch black and charcoal gray and the background with a variety of hand and mill dyed strips of wool. For a finishing touch I added a row of autumn red around the edge of the background.  The finished mat measures 6 x 12  inches.
If this is your first project I would suggest an oval quilting hoop frame which can be purchased at any fabric store. There are more user friendly and costly frames available, but I did my first dozen or so rugs on a quilting hoop and then graduated to the more expensive frame. There's no sense investing in expensive tools until you're sure you enjoy a hobby.
As for the hook I have solid hardwood and steel hooks listed for .00 but you can choose the option to add one to your kit for just .50 when you make your purchase.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss rug hooking in general, please email me and thanks for your interest in my work.
All of my items come from a smoke free home. To get an idea how easy this is to do just google "primitive rug hooking". There are several video demonstrations on U Tube.
